Want a CopyOMEGA Silver Snoopy 50th? Check Specialty Stores!

Okay, so, I’ve been eyeing this particular watch for a while now, the CopyOMEGA Ω Speedmaster “Silver Snoopy Award” 50th Anniversary. Yeah, the name’s a mouthful, but trust me, the watch is something else. I finally took the plunge and got one from a specialty store. The whole experience was a bit of a journey, and I figured I’d share it here.

First off, I started digging around online. I wanted to make sure I was getting the real deal, you know? I bumped into some interesting info. Like, this watch isn’t just another fancy timepiece. It celebrates the 50th anniversary of OMEGA receiving the “Silver Snoopy Award” from NASA back in 1970. Apparently, OMEGA played a big part in helping the Apollo 13 crew get back to Earth safely. Pretty cool, right? I read somewhere that this one is limited to 5,441 pieces, because that’s how long the Apollo 13 mission lasted – 142 hours, 54 minutes, and 41 seconds. And those details matter.

I spent hours, I mean hours, browsing through different websites, trying to get a feel for the watch. It’s got this silver dial with blue subdials, and the case is 42mm stainless steel. I also found out that the movement inside is some fancy OMEGA Co-Axial Master Chronometer Calibre 3861. Sounds impressive, I guess. Most of the information I found was pretty generic, but then I stumbled upon something about the “Silver Snoopy Award” itself. It’s like a little sterling silver Snoopy pin that’s actually been in space. Plus you get a certificate and a letter from the astronauts. The whole thing seemed pretty legit and historical, which I liked.

After my online deep dive, I decided to check out some specialty stores. I figured seeing the watch in person would be a whole different experience. And boy, was I right. The moment I held it in my hands, I was sold. It felt solid, substantial, and that silver dial with the blue accents? Stunning.

The price tag was, well, let’s just say it wasn’t cheap. But I saw it as an investment, something special. And with this whole 50th-anniversary thing and the Apollo 13 story, I thought, why not? This watch had a story to tell. Plus, I saw some offers for monthly payments, which made the purchase a little less painful.

So, I bought it. I’ve been wearing it for a few weeks now, and I gotta say, I’m loving it. It’s definitely a conversation starter. People notice it, and I get to share the whole story behind it, the Silver Snoopy Award, Apollo 13, all of it. It’s not just a watch; it’s a piece of history on my wrist.

If you’re thinking about getting one, I’d say go for it. Just do your research, find a reputable seller, and be prepared to be amazed. This watch isn’t just about telling time; it’s about celebrating a remarkable achievement. And to think, I got to be a part of that celebration by buying this watch. That’s the kind of feeling you can’t put a price on.

Some things I learned along the way:

• This model is all about that “Silver Snoopy Award” OMEGA got in 1970.
• It’s got a special Calibre 3861 movement that’s apparently super precise.
• It’s a 42mm stainless steel case with a white dial – looks even better in person.
• There are only 5,441 of these watches made because of the Apollo 13 mission length.

So, yeah, that’s my story of getting the CopyOMEGA Ω Speedmaster “Silver Snoopy Award” 50th Anniversary watch. A bit of a splurge, maybe, but totally worth it in my book. Hope this helps anyone else who’s been eyeing this beauty!
